    imminent death of 14’000 babies

    This is already fake news. It’s neather imminent nor about babies. There’s really no need to watch further if it already strts like this.

    I’d kind of hope a Person with a Job as influental as MEP would relize by herself that 14’000 babies would be an enormous number for a territory the size of gaza or at least fact-check it, but power doesn’t come with responsibility I guess 🤷

        there are very very few contexts where 1 year is considered anywhere close to imminent. Climate change, for example.

        But This isn’t one of those situations. We don’t need to act now or they will die in 1 year. Taking action is as simple as removing roadblocks, takes less than 1 day. I am convinced this whole crisis can be averted within 1 week.

        So calling it imminent is just wrong

            Am I saying that?

            Or am I saying that you’re using the wrong words and giving a wrong picture of the situation?

            Because I think you’re trying to put words in my mouth to make me look bad.

            You do realize that behaviour like this discredits the whole pro-peace movement, right? You’re throwing away trust which is especially bad since the situation is already so bad it doesn’t need to be lied about.

            The next time you post something about the conflict, people aren’t going to say “oh that’s bad”, they’re going to say “oh, that guy’s a known liar, I don’t think he tells the truth”.

                you’re doing it again.

                Am I saying that it isn’t a warcrime?

                Or am I saying that the Situation is already bad enough and we shouldn’t lie about it? That that will only sabotage the whole peace movement by destroying its credibility? Which isn’t necessary since, again, what Israel is doing is already bad enough.

                Seriously, stop trying to put words into my mouth please. I don’t like what Israel is doing and you don’t like what Israel is doing. But misleading about it only makes the whole thing worse.

        Why the need to lie about it though?

        If you agree that it is already awful, then why lie about it and not just stick to the truth?

        Just because something is awful doesn’t give you the right to lie about it being worse

            Oh okay, so you use a word in the wrong context and somehow I’m the denialist.

            This takes less than a week to fix, we have a year time. No honest person would call it imminent. You’re the doshonest one playing word games.
